*sigh*
it's not a "JDM heart" and it's not any sort of "mad tyte JDM" or "JDM as ***k" type thing that ignorant masses out there promote however, your ignorance has accidentally worked in favour for you... this symbol is a butterfly, the JDM equivalent of a P plater... it's called a Shoshinsha mark there is another kind of symbol reserved for old people in Japan... I doubt anyone here is old enough to need it

Alright time to get back to doing my build thread!
I bought Hammo's autoexe grille replica with CF wrap on it at THE-LOWDOWN Showcased. Looks better than the stock grille i think, thanks Hammo! |

yeah im looking into XXR 530's, but wanting offset so I need to chuck in some coil overs first. My mates brother did it for me for $10, if you give me a fuel cap some how he can print it off and put it on, or I can see if he can just print one off? |

looks like in about two weeks Benny will be doing my calipers red for me, because the original owner painted them like a browny yellow colour and half of that has peeled off.
Also purchasing rear speakers and an amp of Benny too! He sure does like to make me broke |

Bit of an update, seeing as not much happens on my build thread.
Should be getting BC RC coilovers with a camber kit soon. Then once they are in I'll hopefully get my new rims asap! REALLY keen on getting XXR 530's, with about +35mm offset to hopefully make her flush :3 Wanting to also paint the rims, I'm really set on the colour light blue, because before I bought my SP20, I was looking for Mazda 3's and found a photo of one in Europe that had light blue rims and the car was white, and when I bought my SP20 eventually I thought that would look mad on mine, so yeah! Any suggestions? |
